Acceleration is a change in velocity per unit of time. Velocity is distance (d) per unit of time (t). That makes acceleration distance per unit of time squared, or something like this:
We have distance/time2, or d/t2
Distance is commonly measured in meters, and time in seconds. This makes acceleration appear in meters per second per second, or meters per second squared, or m/sec2.
m/s2
meters per second squared

What units are measurements of acceleration given?
the general form of the units for acceleration are distance per time squared, such as m/s2.
If a rock is dropped and it's speed increases from 0 to 4.9 in about 3 seconds. what is the acceleration?
Assuming that your units of velocity are in units/second Acceleration = (velocity 2 - velocity 1) / time Acceleration = (4.9 - 0) / 3 Acceleration =1.63 *With correct significant figures the answer is 2
He units of meters per second squared is a unit of?
Rate of change of speed. It can be the units for acceleration but need not be.
Why are the units for acceleration meters per second?
Acceleration is not measured in meters/second. Meters/second is a unit of speed. Since acceleration is defined as change of speed divided by time, the units are meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2.
What is the value on earth of gravity in both English units and Metric Units?
The acceleration due to gravity is -9.8m/s2 in metric units or -32ft/s2 in English units.
How do you convert acceleration units to velocity units?
To convert acceleration to velocity, you must integrate.Similarly, to convert velocity to distance, you must integrate a second time. This is why the distance covered by a projectile is a second order quadratic equation.

What is the common units for acceleration?
Acceleration is metres per second squared/ written as m/s^(2) or ms^-2)
What are the units of angular acceleration and how are they calculated?
The units of angular acceleration are radians per second squared (rad/s2). Angular acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in angular velocity by the time taken for the change to occur.
